Abstract
A synthetic fiber treatment agent composition capable of providing synthetic fibers, particularly synthetic fiber padding, with a better hand, smoothness, repulsion, and the like. The composition comprises an amino group-containing polyorganosiloxane with a high amino group content and specific terminal groups, and an amino group-containing polydiorganosiloxane with a low amino group content or a polydiorganosiloxane with no amino groups.
Claims14
A synthetic fiber treatment agent composition comprising
- (A) an amino group-containing polyorganosiloxane, where the terminals of the molecular chain are groups described by general formula
- where each R is selected from a C1 to C20 monovalent hydrocarbon group, a substituted C1 to C20 monovalent hydrocarbon group, and a hydroxyl group, with at least 80 mol % of all the R comprising monovalent hydrocarbon groups and substituted monovalent hydrocarbon groups;
- R2 is a C1 to C10 divalent hydrocarbon group;
- R3 and R4 are each selected from hydrogen atoms, C1 to C20 monovalent hydrocarbon groups, and substituted C1 to C20 monovalent hydrocarbon groups;
- a is an integer from 5 to 5;
- p is an integer from 0 to 2;
- q is an integer from 0 to 3, and r is 0 or 1, where (p+q+r)=3, and at least 30 mol % of all siloxane units per molecule are amino group-containing diorganosiloxane units described by general formula
- where R, R2, R3, R4, and a are the same as above and
- (B) a mixture of a polydiorganosiloxane where y is 0 and an amino group-containing polydiorganosiloxane in which y is an integer of 1 or more, in each case described by general formula
- where each A is selected from a trialkylsilyl group, a hydrogen atom, a C1 to C20 monovalent hydrocarbon group, and a substituted C1 to C20 monovalent hydrocarbon group;
- R, R2, R3, R4, and a are the same as above;
- x is an integer of 1 or more;
- where y/(x+y) is no more than 0.1.
